Question

olive's garden in only 10y2 and the watermelon plants she wants to grow required 2.5y2 each.how many watermelon plants can she grow

Answer 1

Answer:

4 plants

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we are given the total area of the garden, which is:

$A=10y^2$

The number of plants that can fit inside the garden is given by the equation:

$A=na$

where:

n is the number of plants

a is the area of each plants

In this problem, the area of each plant is

$a=2.5y^2$

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to find the number of plants that can fit:

$n=\frac{A}{a}=\frac{10}{2.5}=4$
